Hanging Cheek Baucher Elliptical

Description

Hanging Cheek Baucher Elliptical Bit
Asserting very slight poll pressure, this hanging cheek Baucher bit acts directly on the bars of the horse’s mouth — making it an excellent choice for horses that are heavy to handle or resistant in the neck.

Key Features
Slight poll pressure and leverage for improved responsiveness
Elliptical link (oval lozenge) eliminates nutcracker action
Even pressure distribution across the bars of the mouth
Independent control over both sides of the mouth
Fixed mouthpiece sits quietly — similar stability to an eggbutt
Cheek design prevents pinching of the horse’s lips
How It Works
The hanging cheek design creates a small amount of leverage, resulting in less poll pressure compared to other leverage bits. Because the mouthpiece cannot move or rotate on the rings, it lies more quietly in the horse’s mouth — much like an eggbutt snaffle.

The elliptical link in the centre reduces the harsh nutcracker action of a single-jointed bit, distributing pressure more evenly over the bars and allowing the rider to communicate independently with each side of the mouth.
